Robinson had two receptions on three targets for 15 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

Robinson got back into the end zone after being held out for two straight weeks following a four-score outburst over Weeks 8 and 9. The veteran receiver finished with two or fewer receptions for the fifth time over his last six contests, highlighting his dependency on touchdowns in order to generate fantasy value. Those facts limit Robinson to deep-league utility as the Rams prepare to take on the Saints next Sunday.

Kupp hauled in eight of 11 targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Eagles.

Fellow wideout Puka Nacua (9-117-0) led the Rams in all receiving categories, but it was Kupp who cashed in one of two passing touchdowns for Los Angeles. The MVP of Super Bowl LVI is now up to five touchdowns in seven healthy games this season. Kupp and Nacua should continue complementing each other as star teammates when the Rams visit the Saints next Sunday.

Nacua finished with nine receptions (on 13 targets) for 117 yards in Sunday's 37-20 loss to Philadelphia.

Fresh off a season-best performance, Nacua was back at it again with another 100-plus yard showing. Unlike last week, the budding star was unable to hit pay dirt, and the Rams suffered a loss instead of a win. Nacua is averaging eight receptions and 111 receiving yards in the four games in which he has played 50 percent or more of his team's offensive snaps. More impressively, the BYU product has been posting these WR1-type numbers with fellow wideout Cooper Kupp in the lineup. Nacua is giving fantasy managers a strong push in the second half of the season after going down with a serious knee injury in Week 1.

Brown hauled in six of seven targets for 109 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-20 win over the Rams.

Brown tied his previous season-best mark of six receptions while recording his fourth 100-plus yard game in the process. The 27-year-old now sports a 39-727-4 receiving line through eight active games, which is a tick below the averages of 97 receptions, 1,476 yards and nine touchdowns the wideout averaged in his first two seasons with Philadelphia. Brown should continue to be treated as WR1 in fantasy when the Eagles take on the Ravens next Sunday.

Slayton didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 30-7 defeat against the Buccaneers.

Slayton missed New York's Week 10 loss to Carolina due to a concussion, and though he was able to return Sunday following the team's Week 11 bye, he was held without a catch for the first time this season. The veteran wideout's two targets in the loss tied a season-low mark, and that number is particularly concerning given that it was New York's first game this season with second-year QB Tommy DeVito -- who put up 31 passes -- starting under center. DeVito seems set to remain the team's lead signal-caller moving forward, and if he continues to focus his attention on Malik Nabers (nine targets), Theo Johnson (six targets) and Wan'Dale Robinson (five targets), Slayton could have a hard time staying involved on offense.

Metcalf caught four of five targets for 59 yards in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

Offense was at a premium on a rainy afternoon in Seattle, and Metcalf fell short of 60 receiving yards for only the fourth time in nine appearances this season. The 26-year-old wideout has managed an 11-129-0 line on 14 targets over two games since returning from a knee injury, but he'll look to break out in Week 13 against the Jets.

Worthy recorded four receptions on six targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over the Panthers. He added one rush for five yards.

Worthy finished second on the team with six targets, his highest mark since Week 8. However, he continued to struggle to connect with Patrick Mahomes on deep targets, as three of his four catches went for 12 yards or fewer. Given his limited volume and lack of explosiveness, Worthy is difficult to trust despite topping 50 yards from scrimmage in consecutive games for the first time this season.

Smith-Njigba caught six of seven targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 16-6 win over the Cardinals.

It was another big performance for the second-year wideout, as even in rainy conditions, he led the Seahawks in receiving while grabbing the game's only offensive TD on a three-yard catch in the second quarter. Over the last four games, Smith-Njigba has delivered a 29-436-3 line on 38 targets, and even with DK Metcalf healthy, the younger receiver may be emerging as Seattle's top downfield threat. Smith-Njigba will look to catch six or more passes for a fifth straight game in Week 13 against the Jets.

Ridley recorded five receptions on six targets for 93 yards in Sunday's 32-27 win over the Texans.

Ridley saw only six targets for the second consecutive week as both Tyler Boyd and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine earned increased usage in the Tennessee offense. However, his role as the big-play threat remains intact, as he broke free for a 63-yard catch early in the second quarter. Ridley now has at least one reception of 20 yards in six consecutive games while also topping 70 receiving yards in four of his last five contests.

Brown brought in six of 10 targets for 71 yards in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Facing his original NFL squad, Brown finished as the Commanders' pace-setter in targets while co-leading the team in receptions as well. Brown's catch total was also a season high, making it quite the bounce-back effort after Brown had recorded only one catch for four yards in a Week 11 loss to the Eagles. Brown has at least six targets in four of his last five contests, giving him a solid floor heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Titans.
